The Georgian House, House museum in Bristol, England
The Georgian House spans four floors containing eleven meticulously arranged rooms that display both the residential areas and servant quarters of a late 1700s residence.
William Paty designed this Grade II listed building in 1791 for John Pinney, a sugar merchant who generated wealth through plantation ownership in the West Indies.
The museum presents exhibitions about Bristol's involvement in sugar trade and slavery, including personal stories of individuals like Pero who lived and worked in the house.
The museum operates from April through December, Tuesday to Sunday between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with physical limitations for wheelchair access to the building.
The residence contains an unusual cold water plunge bath and maintains its original bureau-bookcase in the study, presenting authentic Georgian period furnishings.
